2“Speak to all the people of Israel and tell them this: You must be holy, because I, Yahweh your God, am holy, and I want you to be like me.
3Each of you must respect your father and your mother. And you must ◄honor/treat respectfully► the Sabbath days. I am Yahweh, your God, and that is what I am commanding you to do.
4Do not worship idols or make metal statues of gods for yourselves. I am Yahweh, your God, and I am the only one you must worship.
5When you bring an offering to maintain fellowship with me, offer it in a way that will cause me to accept it.
6The meat should be eaten on the day that you sacrifice it, but you are permitted to eat some of it on the next day. Anything that remains until the third/next day must be completely burned.
7For any of it to be eaten on the third day is very displeasing to me, and I will not accept that offering.
8I will punish anyone who eats it after the second day, because he will not have respected what I say is holy. And that person must no longer be allowed to associate with my people.
9When you harvest your grain, leave the grain at the very edge of the field, and do not pick up the grain that has fallen on the ground.
10And when you harvest your grapes, do not go back a second time to try to harvest some more, and do not pick up the grapes that have fallen on the ground. Leave those things for the poor people and for foreigners who are living among you. I, Yahweh your God, am commanding those things.
11Do not steal anything. Do not tell lies. Do not deceive each other.
12Do not show that you do not respect me by using/saying my name to falsely promise that you will do something. Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God.
